in towns flashes in the skies burning debris falling to the ground and he tried breaks up over russia's urals and showers down on the region. but also this hour more than one hundred people seek medical attention after the meteorite spreads panic and destruction over the russian region with some twenty thousand imagine surpass and i'll put on high alert. concerns of a hollywood horrify resurface in the uighurs as the government's fault for surveillance is millions spent on biometrics research. and financial movers and shakers flock to a major gathering in moscow to chew over the state a world economy amid currency manipulation is and the neverending eurozone crisis. plus as the budget cuts in britain strike against police with thousands of layoffs in the past year he takes a look at whether less offices means more crying. this

is coming to you live from moscow hello and welcome to the program and of course we start with one of the most important stories today our breaking news story actually it's out people in the eurozone russia has been burning objects raining down from the sky after a meteorite exploded a bar that causing a meteor shower and. has more for us now irina so i would this is also say that they saw a huge wind fireball as well and they saw some sort of a mushroom cloud that heard a huge buying so what i witnessed reports basically people are saying that this was very much like the war of the worlds coming actually coming to reality and reliving it armageddon war of the worlds you name it basically this is just the wrong. and

events that happened around nine o'clock in the morning local time and you haven't got people were on their way to work to school whatever when all of a sudden they saw arguably the most amazing if not the scariest thing that they have ever seen and i think before i say anything further and you can see it behind me this is what they saw let's hear it from the people who were actually there and told us about it about their experience of it of this once in a lifetime event. for accountability just what it took for young people are not normally but what we. want. first there was a sense names around and then in a few seconds we heard the blast. and we had all just the windows blown out together with three. i thought a plane crash try to know we're building an old house. but it

was only up to where we were told that one of the walls crushed. and it was really horrible i felt really scary and. well basically it recently we've heard about some technical difficulties there but we're really getting information by the every second we're trying to connect to somebody new but basically what's happened people obviously obviously were panic stricken there was some something flying through the air there was tremendous thunder it was certainly felt and. felt and it was appeared to be an explosion and we'll get to what people actually were thinking which was a little bit later we're being told that at least one hundred people have actually turned to medical professionals to be treated for the woods that they have received from the glass shards which were apparently flying everywhere and you have seen the pictures i mean the buildings that we saw that was actually

a school where the windows were blown out in the middle apparently very early in the on the school day and at least four children have sustained some injuries from there but we also know actually that children are being told to stay home nobody's going to school or to kindergartens either in that the minister emergencies are saying that they're keeping keeping everything under tabs the house twenty thousand personnel on high alert just to be ready just in case something else happens but this is an asteroid this isn't anything out of well it is an extraordinary event i shouldn't be so if you think i mean they say regarding. communications and radiation levels at the moment of this well just when this happened and again you can see the pictures right there it really does look amazing but when that all happened obviously people started calling each other to make sure that everybody was ok and trying to figure out what exactly happened what was that flash of light and these cell phones were down there was absolutely no cell your connection it is

picking up now it is a little bit better but there is still kind of suffering in some places and in others and what you can see. i mean that's the school that i was talking about this is i think this is the gymnasium and the windows are just gone completely and it would be really good if we could get the pictures of the sink plants that was also in the region you should see the damage that was done there that was just this is the school again of blood there was. yes this is the think plant that i was talking about and you will see in just a second that there is a humongous hole in the middle of that building and this is another thing that we should we should keep in mind is that you has been a closed region for a very long time during the soviet era it was essentially this center of the nuclear research and it was it was a kind of you know top secret facilities are all over the place there and there is there is one nuclear storage facility called me out and a lot of people are now saying that this is really in the best graces that none of the asteroids and there were at least five. of fragments of the asteroid it's

really fortunate that none of the asteroids have actually landed into that facility because that obviously would have been we would be talking about nuclear disaster there but again the minister of emergency emergencies is saying that all nuclear facilities in the region are working top notch nothing out of the extraordinary happening pretty dramatic songs of the day absolutely in shanab and it's going to all of us actually here so what about that asteroid that. expected to be to be here later on not actually here hopefully but. well it's going to mean that's true it's don't exactly fall of the schedule it is supposed to be here around you know one thousand nine hundred twenty five g.m.t. tonight but who knows maybe decided to make it an early appearance it's not like they're actually keeping tabs with. the scientists back here on earth the so people are saying that this actually could be a part of it kind of you know sort of a teaser of what's what's to come but hopefully. as bad as it's going to get

because you really don't want to see the entire thing flying towards earth and landing somewhere in the area where it's a story. actually have a tendency to do it seems like the very stuff of it is scary and fascinating it's not every day that you see these absolutely amazing pictures i think the way you can see we're lucky to have seen i mean remember that. that was back in one thousand eight. is something that's still puzzling sides to this day so maybe this is another one of those things absolutely thanks for sharing your optimism with us . closer we'll talk to you. so most space walks approaching us burn up safely in the planet's atmosphere however one getting all the way through to the surface isn't such an uncommon event for us and some scientists estimate hundreds of them actually reach the ground every year however because of the internes burning in the atmosphere most and up too small to cause any damage to

produce a display like the one above the urals today and finding a fragment of freshly fallen meteorite takes a great deal of luck considering in ninety seven percent of space rocks found on earth have fallen long ago being injured by a forty meter right isn't even rare event with only one universally accepted case and modern history for kilogram rocks trunks through the roof on an alabama home in one nine hundred fifty four interrupting the owner's afternoon nap one of hate on the arm and leg a bit of history here for you. so being the biggest country on the planet is no surprise russia gets that a fair share of direct hits and let's not look at the most well known so the biggest was the so-called phenomenon of a century ago when asteroid sought to be a comet exploded in siberia leveling around two thousand square kilometers of forest and other collision happened less than two decades after the brand that's

one embitter ride clashed in southern russia so the biggest piece found a way to almost three hundred kilograms. it's nineteen forty seven an estimated seventy tons of extern to exit material reached the overall size of the meteorite was estimated at approximately one hundred tons and just over a decade ago it was hit by another asteroid explosion not a major one with its power only approximately two hundred tons of their t.n.t. . let's go back to earth now so they whiles economic woes started by tea partyers currency battles and europe's painful crisis will come to light at a meeting of the g twenty financial heads and the leaders of central banks here in moscow so for russia the gathering is seen as a launch pad for a broader g. twenty summit this year and more that from r.t. is this a couple of. from cosmic sparks caused by media showers to economic sparks caused

by the prospect of a currency war this has been raised by japan essentially lowering the value of the yen and this has opened a massive rift between rich countries who are heavily in debt and growing faster growing countries developing countries are heavily dependent on exports who are quite worried about a wave of competitive devaluations now what does all this financial mumbo jumbo mean basically in tough economic times it could be pretty tempting for a country to lower the value of its currency for example taking this twenty dollar bill and making it worth a little bit less now why would someone want to do that because when your currency is devalued that makes your export goods cheaper on the market and that sort of creates a short term boost an economic growth now the fear with that is once you start going down that path as japan did europe can say well hey i'm going to lower the value of my currency america could follow suit and so on and so forth and that's the kind of clash that essentially leads to what we know as an economic currency

war at the last time that happened was in the one nine hundred thirty s. and as we all remember that had some pretty devastating consequences one of the hot topics of debate is likely to be voting rights at the international monetary fund where countries like russia and china have less of a say despite the fact that they have trillions of dollars in reserves and so they are going to be pushing this is an ongoing issue for a revision in the way the i.m.f. is structured so that developing economies have more of a greater say now another major issue is of course debts and deficits with the finance minister is likely to try to come up with some sort of a new pact to reduce the borrowing a lot of major financial issues of course as russia becomes the first big emerging economy to assume the annual presidency of the g twenty summit. hunger poverty under lack of health care in its modern day europe and greece the continent's most troubled and people that are being forced to find ways to cope with the situation

like queuing for church handouts and even leaving the country for great a pastor greener pasture. the u.s. department of defense has allocated three million dollars for the development of a groundbreaking smartphone face recognition technology that it's intended to be used mainly by the military its potential use in law enforcement health care and civil i.d. programs sparks new privacy concerns in a fortnight has more now on america's formulas for surveillance. the information age was an era nearly everybody in braced by today's surveillance age experts say is a reality oh most no one can escape we are five years away in new york from zero privacy from every new yorker being tracked and catalogued and watched and that information being saved for pretty much an indeterminate period of private

investigator steve rom bomb believes america is being landscaped into an eis wide open society through the advancing market of biometrics technology that uses physiological and behavioral recognition to identify people. a system touted as a national security necessity is being used to build a database where the biometric identity of millions of americans be gathered and stored when you look at crying when you look at terrorism what we're really focusing on is the individual and so if you are interested in reducing crime or reducing terrorism you do have to focus on the individual and biometrics in a way. of connecting the person with a measurement recognition of unwanted visitors face recognition and iris scanning are the current tools of the trade however scientists are reportedly developing new technology aimed at identifying anyone from much greater distances if researchers

are successful the defense department may eventually be able to detect individuals by your sheet heartbeat walking patterns and possibly even older long range fingerprint and iris scanning are reportedly also being explored for the u.s. tool box of tracking their reasons to have such security devices sure. do i think it's american do i think it's appropriate that somebody can press a button and determine everywhere i've been everything i've done. everyone i've been with you know its role. and i think that we're entitled to privacy. author and journalist a.j. jacobs recently spent three months documenting every second of his life with a small camera worn like a bluetooth it's remarkable it holds ten hours of video esquire magazine editor at large subscribed to self surveillance for an article about life long yet he believes the market of high tech cameras and consumer biometric applications will

soon make little brother and equally big concern and i think that we are. we're not going to have a private moment in the future and i always tell people listen if you want to have an extramarital affair you better have it right now because you're going to be able to have them five years because everything will be tracked your husband or wife will be able to know exactly where you are at all times as companies like apple moved her words fingerprint readers and facial recognition insiders say that consumer electronics will generate an entirely new source of revenue for the biometric industry and industry estimated to bank more than nine billion dollars globally this year however the top cash cow is expected to remain government spending on security little bit in the past five years the department of defense has shelled out an estimated three billion dollars on biometric programs. hard to

believe that just ten years ago the concept of facial recognition biometric surveillance and domestic drones was limited to science fiction movies like minority report burning up or not you are. now a decade behind bars without charge or trial and now a pretty is being made to block obama to find it free a british man from gong paid to he was cleared for release years ago this story and much more aftershock right. today. games lead up. to these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations to rule the day.

air watching aussies good to have you with us on this international is taking a petition to the u.s. presidents to call for the release of a u.k. citizen has now spent more than a decade in guantanamo bay. was held under suspicion of links to al qaida but has never been charged to face the trial he was cleared for release in two thousand and nine but for mazen detention nonetheless tom was be well that kind of counsel focus on tom a prison most says all most cases not an exception. shocker amr was sold for a bounty the united states drop of leaflets to go and offered five thousand to twenty five thousand dollars for every quote arab terrorists who would be turned in in an area where people make two hundred dollars a year that was enough as a leaflet said to feed your family for a life so any arab you found you could sell for a bounty there are about one hundred sixty people at guantanamo today about fifteen of those are people who really could be charged with war crimes like khalid shaikh

mohammed they were brought to guantanamo afterwards of their other you know a hundred fifty or so people eighty six of them have been cleared for release and are sitting there the others are not even charged with anything or thought of to be really bad guys these are people ignored president obama faces opposition within congress and it's no doubt the people of that many republicans that pandered to fear. obama cannot let that stop him from doing just that these people need to be out shocker aamer should be out of guantanamo there is no reason for him to be there british police have been given a severe quipping clopping from the number of offices and due to his hand record low as the country chases expenses and made it a continuing financial struggles but is it having any effect on the u.k. security sas has tried to figure out by asking us pro and anti motion legislative. the home secretary's announced plans to set up

a national database where police officers will have to declare second jobs this is aimed at raising professional standards and this is also part of why the reforms to the seeing the number of police officers drop to their lowest levels for eleven years is the impact of a twenty percent cut and whitehall funding to police budgets takes effect or to speak more about these forms i'm joined by conservative m.p. angie britain and labor and. thank you very much to both of you for joining us jim i'm going to start with a lot of the police officers that we were speaking with we've got is a bit you've got these reforms going through but at the same time they're seeing the number of police. and police. i mean it's quite confusing time i think for police officers as to what's being expected. i understand that there may be slight consolation but given the battering the reputation of the police is hard over recent months the government had to take steps to shore up the reputation in terms

of morale. the police service. in my part of east london we've seen over one hundred fifty uniform staff gone in the past two years productions in crime which we've seen year on year zero for six years for the past two years has been an increase in crime last year of nine percent so as certain parts of the country the cuts are being imposed are affecting the safety of people on the streets what do you say to. the lowest level of police officers now for eleven years. so i may not know the police are having to take their share of the of the spending reductions along with the rest of the public sector to get the deficit under control and what we're actually seeing is it's not about police numbers it's what you do with the police or innovative ways of maintaining a police presence on the streets and jim a home for to have a increase in crime in his constituency but the fact of the across the country are on average last year crime fell by. and he fell in my force in leicestershire by

eight percent as well so we are seeing a overall reduction in crime across the country at the same times are cutting police numbers but they're doing innovative things like sharing back office services because the forces to save money and keep those police out on the streets where people want to be sort of in offices filling in paperwork and that with red tape to think that they're being in it because. the coalition a bit of in the way they're cutting public services across the piece i was in the fire brigade for twenty five years. the fire brigade. reporting mechanism for second jobs for for many many years a lot of the reforms that they are very sensible in east london we pioneered neighborhood policing. popular across a piece of the six off. the marine unit in my area. we've been told that there would be no night patrols on the river as a result of these cuts this is a security terrorism issue as well as an issue of safety on the streets so we have

different experiences in terms of our constituencies and everybody wants to support the police and we have a different economic strategy to deal with the deficit and the financial measures that need to be introduced essence what we want to do is support the place we both want to see. best to do that kind of speak about integrity it's not just the police integrity it's the public perception of the police integrity in the reforms will help to improve the public perception of. all right thank you both very much for joining us you can join in our debate online dot com we've also been on twitter a lot of the public have been getting involved in this debate as well as members of the. reform to join in the debate about the late. more people are without work in greece than at any time since the economic crisis began afghan employment rate creeps up to twenty seven percent international loans are all that stopping the country going bankrupt and as former greek m.p. eva kailash says it's

a big human level that the deep cuts are really hitting home while it seems that it's getting worse not better this is the famous rescue of greece from the european union they say that will reach thirty percent of unemployment it means that one thousand people lose their jobs every day in greece this is starting to be a humanitarian crisis and i think it's something that we've no one expected to see in the european union you see extreme poverty you see of people's out they tried to get a plate of food from the church we have two hundred fifty thousand people every day trying to get to the church to find food we are talking about the people that they want to find a job in greece the trying to leave the country we're talking about people that don't have access to primary health services and we're talking about things that no one expected to see it seems that the plan for growth is taking to martin too

long to take place so something has to change i do believe that germany has stuck to this plan and doesn't want to admit the mistakes where we listen every day of things that could have been better for greece if the plan was there the relief they had made better estimation about what would happen but this is something that's not only numbers it's one thousand people human beings in the european union that lose their jobs every day this is creating a human tire crisis inside the euro zone. and let's not throw back to our breaking news story around one hundred fifty people have sought medical attention after a miscarriage exploded above the earth with burning debris rained down from the sky and rushes year olds on there was a large bang and windows were shattered and houses across the region schools and kindergartens have been closed in the screen and mobile communications disrupted

although they've since been restored one way to write a piece has already been found although radiation levels are said to be within a safe limits as in fact tree has been badly damaged by the for him to bring as well and initially there were fears the incident would have been a military aircraft or even a missile. and of course we'll keep you posted on that developing story and hugely exciting as well in a few minutes stay with us as far as special report on the gray zone for the european democracy. we speak your language anything about the war not against. programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you. a little turn
